Hope eats away,
At my insides,
Hollow though they are,
It burns through it all,
Desperately,
A sickness fills my heart,
Nauseating,
A chilling fever,
Freezing the emptiness,
'Til everything melts away,
And I'm screaming,
For nothing

I Try

I love you with all my heart
I want nothing more than to be just like you
But you dont accept me
My gentleness, my innocence
My loveliness
My belief in the goodness of life
and my eagerness to find it everywhere
and in everyone
Instead you push your petty prejudiced view on me
and then leave me for days even weeks
torturing myself, trying to understand
was it just a joke?
I cannot embrace your hate
I dont want to, because my heart is pure
my mind cannot comprehend such things
Like a dog, I will always love people and always forgive
Can you accept that in me and nurture it?
Can you even become like me?
I so want to be just like you.
There are such tears of battle fought in gain
Torn from the weary eyes
From hearts ensnared in unrequited love
That will never die

Pangs of anguish strike a chord
With notes that ring off key
Each time the heart returns to battle
To try again to be

Now battle-scarred and weary worn
Not sure of how to mend
Still the heart returns each time for more
Goes on fighting ‘til the end

What fine glory found in battle fair
With hearts of equal measure
That meet and duel on common ground
And win their final treasure

Love and lust
Share a common goal
But attack with different strides.
One leaps,
One slithers,
Both plead,
Both gravel,
Neither lies,
Nor listens,
Yet both will fail.
Since love and lust both find
That there are no quick resolutions.
No absolute solutions.
No
Happy
Endings.
Only temporary fixes
To never-ending problems
Within themselves.

They search
And search,
And all that arises is
Desire for contempt.

Now I have to ask,
“Have you found the cure?”
“To what?” They scold.
“To the common cold,
The sickness of perceived loneliness
And fear of solitude,
The endless search
For that one individual
Who’ll fulfill all your needs
Whole-heartedly.”
“And what
Could be wrong
With that?”
“Delusions, False-hopes, and self-deception to start…
But don’t forget about your heart,
It loves you.
And it
Believes you.
And settled within the comforts of your skin
And the sound of your breathing,
It has faith in you.”
"When you can't sleep,
Write poetry.
When you can't write,
Sleep.
When you can't do either,
It's time to dance away
The fear of strikingly crude words on paper.
The fear of dreams that foretell futures.
The fear that questions asked
Are not dismissed, but answered,
Honestly.
Dance away brief moments of distain.
Dance in the night's waves of raindrops,
Dance in the wind's minute synapses,
These moments are eternal
Within the mind."
When you closed your eyes my heart closed like a flower
Light had faded from my world
As I wondered at love and its hurt and its power
When I heard the wings of the angels unfurl

I'll sing you home
I'll sing you home
Again

When the rocket went up to the sky in February
The light returned to my world
I remembered each treasure that you ever gave to me
And the petals of my heart unfurled

I'll sing you home
I'll sing you home
Again

For every joy.
For every treasure.
For every laugh.
For every adventure.
Would you do it all again?
Because, you know, I would sing you home. Again.
For my dear dear freind Jim, my mentor, wise freind of the light. I miss you. (Does heaven get broadband?)
Run down with incompetence, I have always been a lost cause,
Your persona of proficiency, however, blinded others from my flaws,
Shadowed by greatness, I wonder where I went wrong,
Seemingly out of place I hope to find where I belong.
